Brother Joshua was raised by his grandparents in Greenville, South Carolina in a very strict Methodist home.

In his teenage years, he became very involved in the church and was studying at a small Bible college in his hometown with the intention of eventually enrolling in Bob Jones University.

He was learning to read the Bible in Hebrew and Greek and was very interested in textual criticism of the Bible. It was during these years of intense Bible study that he read the Bible cover to cover a half a dozen times. In doing so, he realized there were many inconsistencies and contradictions.

He realized the Bible was not the inerrant Word of God as he had always been taught. He eventually left Christianity and searched for the truth about God elsewhere.

@Lonestardot Huwa in arabic is He in English but the concept is not the same.In arabic Huwa doesnt always mean masculine gender and so is hiya (she) In arabic language there is no such thing as neuter gender. Car is sayarah in arabic and it's used as feminine "hiya" but car has no gender right.The name Allah is by default masculine in arabic so Huwa is used but that doesnt mean Allah is male.

The quran forbids human sacrifice. Jihad is not a form of human sacrifice, it simply means to struggle
